Thanks, I'll give that a try. One more question. Is there much validity to the claim that gas mileage will improve with time? Thanks! ... the tires ... Civic...
... Your mileage may vary :) I always had decent mileage with mine, and never noticed any time related increase. Others have noticed such an increase. Unknown...
... This does happen for many people (not all). There are two theories (both might be true). 1) engine and other parts work better (less friction) after a...
... I also forgot to mention. The HCH, like all cars, gets worse mile mileage as the temperature drops. Consequently, people who buy in the winter almost...
I had a few thoughts yesterday on the drive home. I saw a station at 3.35, 3.45, 3.55 (based on grade) and figured $4.00 shouldn't be too hard to reach. I'm...
... The Civic and Accord are already high-theft vehicles. I don't know if the hybrids are high-theft, but they surely share many of the same parts. Hopefully,...
I doubt it. More likely it'll increase their vandalism rates as people become jealous that we're paying less for gass (nevermind the car's sticker premium.) ...
Well, the retail value, according to Kelly Blue Book, has increased to $10,503. I don't remember what it was last time I looked, a few months ago, but it was...
First of all, I like it, much more than I thought I was going to. For it's small size, the car is plenty comfortable, but I'm only 5'6". As for the Hybrid...
Well Said. I know if my 00 insight is stolen I can spot it pretty easy with the yellow HOV stickers all over it's pretty little body. Jack 2000 #402 ... ...
I saw someone talking about this once and said they had it fixed by a non-dealer mechanic. Could that person please speak up? Otherwise, my hatch latch seems...
You probably already tried this, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that turning the key beyond the normal electronic actuation point will manually unlock...
As mentioned put the key in and turn all the way to the right, it should release the lock. It also might be worth a shot to lube the latch assembly and see if...
Thanks! Turning the key 90 degrees to the right activates a mechanical release which is independant of the hatch button. I guess I know where my problems...
Well here is the latest update on my 70,000 mile 2001 CVT surging problems. After replacing the EGR valve myself there seemed to be some improvement in the...
I am having the same problem with a 2001 CVT. EGR replacement helped a bit but the problem remains. How much did the transmission replacement cost? Is Honda...
Maybe, maybe not. Every year when I get my insurance renewal forms, I also get a list of "Massachusetts High Theft Vehicles." (The state regulates insurance ...
Doe anyone know if the California HOV lane stickers go to the new owner if you sell your Insight to another California resident? Thanks, Mark ... Start your...
Every time a CVT issue like this comes up, I ask whether the transmission fluid has been changed per the factory recommended service interval (at least every...
... To add this this, there would have to be a market for these parts. Since most hybrids are bought new, there isn't a huge call for parts, and when parts...
You are probably right about the junk accumulating in the fluid. I have had mine changed every 30,000 miles as recommended. Every time it comes out grey and...
Yes, I think they are. I already have mines and I'm enjoying solo Carpool rides here in LA/San Fernando Valley. I dont care how ugly they are, just enjoy them...
Of note, when I changed my HCH CVT fluid at 60K after 30K miles, there was nothing on the magnet and the fluid looked good. AlumniCU 03 HCH CVT 47 lmpg (pump)...

Hey, after a couple tank fulls, our 2005 HCH mileaged has jumped up to close to 50, after hovering around 42 for the first 500 miles. I'm pretty jazzed about...
